Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of Historical English Grammar The object of this book is to give the essentials of historical English grammar as far as is possible within the limits of 100 pages, excluding syntax, but including the history of the language, phonology, inflections, particles, composition, and derivation. Although it covers exactly the same ground as my S/zort Hzlr/orz'cal Grammar (itself an abridgment of the historical portions of my jvcrw Englz's/z Grammar), yet the great compression involved in writing it has obliged me to depart considerably from the plan of the larger works; although in some cases, where the limits of conciseness had already been reached in the Sbaft Hzlrlorz'cal Grammar, I have naturally preferred con servatism to useless innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Grammar It was originally our intention to include in the present volume some chapters on Syntax, but it was found that the inclusion of these chapters would have rendered the book too large for the Series. This omission of the syntax cannot however be regarded as a serious draw back, because the volume dealing with historical English syntax is already in active preparation, and will, it is hoped, be ready for press this year.

The definitions and explanations here given, are necessarily few and short.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Lines of English Grammar: Being a Brief Abstract of the Author's Larger Work, the "Institutes of English Grammar"; Designed for Young Learners Saw: the completion and publication of my Grammar of English Grammars, it has frequently been suggested to me, that a new and critical revision of the Institutes and First Lines, to present them in a state of stricter conformity to that more elaborate work, and to obviate at the same time some remaining defects which had occasionally been noticed, might be the means of increasing the usefulness, and sustaining the reputation of these pretty widely known school-books. Such an im provement of the Institutes the author carefully prepared for the stereo typera during the last year. Having now performed, in like manner, and with proportionate pains, a new revision, or a sort of recasting, of the First Lines of English Grammar, he may perhaps, without lack of modesty, commend this little book to the managers of schools, as being, in his own estimation at least, the but and cheapest epitome of English Grammar yet oflered to their choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Grammar In teaching the History of the English Language, I have looked in vain for a more available copy of Ben Jonson's English Grammar than that found in his collected works. A production so peculiarly distinct from The Hue and Cry after Cupid, or the Pindaric Ode, seems to call for a volume to itself. And the student of the history of English certainly needs it, as the grammar of the best standing for the seventeenth century.

Download or read book An Old English Grammar Classic Reprint written by Eduard Sievers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old English Grammar The first effectual stimulus to a historical study of Old English, and the first outlines of Old English dialectology, we owe to Henry Sweet. In the introduction to his edition of the Cura Pastoralis the peculiarities of Early West Saxon were pointed out for the first time; and his paper entitled 'dialects and Prehistoric Forms of English' (transactions of the Philological Society, 187 5 - 7 6, pp 453 ff.) first directed attention to the earliest documents, and briefly characterized the principal dialects. Of prime importance are likewise his investigations into the quantity of Old English vowels (120, note); these were intended to prepare the way for a new edition of his History of English Sounds, London, 1874 - a work which leans rather to a theoretical treatment of Old English phonology. Besides, the grammatical introduction to Sweet's anglo-saxon Reader (now in its third edition, Oxford, 1881, though I have been able to consult only the second) contains many valuable, and, what is deserving of special recognition in this department of research, trustworthy particulars.

Download or read book The English Language written by J. M. D. Meiklejohn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Language: Its Grammar, History and Literature It is hoped that the book will prove useful in high schools, academies, and seminaries, as well as to candidates for teachers' examinations and civil service examinations. The various topics have been prepared upon the assumption that the stu dent has already studied a part of the work in an elementary form. The most salient features of the language have been de scribed, and minor details have been left for the teacher to fill in as needed. The utmost clearness and simplicity have been the aim of the writer, and he has been obliged to sacrifice many interesting details to this aim. The study of English grammar is necessarily becoming more and more historical. There are scores of inflections and constructions and idioms which cannot be truly or adequately explained without a reference to the past states of the language, to the time when it was a synthetic or inflected language, like German or Latin. The subject of syntax has been set forth in the form of rules. This is thought to be better for young students who require firm and clear dogmatic statements of fact, but the skilful teacher will work up to these rules by the interesting process of induction, and, when possible, will induce his pupils to draw the general conclusions from the data given. Another convenience that will be found by both teacher and student in this form of rules is that they can be compared with the rules of foreign languages, such as Latin, French, and German.

Download or read book A First Book in Old English written by Albert S. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in Old English: Grammar, Reader, Notes, and Vocabulary The selections have been made with reference to giving a fairly just, though necessarily incomplete, view of the surroundings, occupations, problems, ideals, and senti ments of our English ancestors. The earlier pieces of both prose and poetry are short; the longer ones that follow either have more sustained interest, or are sup ported by their reference to preceding ones; but they, too, fall into natural subdivisions, partially indicated in the printing, so that they may be read as successions of short extracts. It may be objected that Latin and Greek have been too freely used for illustration. The reply to such an objection is twofold: that the book is likely to fall into the hands of some who possess at least an elemen tary acquaintance with one or both of these languages, and that to these the disclosure of the relations involved in a comparison with the ancient tongues will materially increase their pleasure and their gain; and, secondly, that the book may be intelligently read, from cover to cover, without the slightest knowledge of either Greek or Latin.
